Description
La presente invención se refiere a una biomatriz y a métodos para su preparación. The present invention relates to a biomatrix and methods for its preparation.
Las enfermedades de las articulaciones son trastornos muy comunes, que van acompañados de un gran número de molestias para las personas afectadas. Así por ejemplo, los defectos óseos y cartilaginosos juegan un papel 5 importante en la patogénesis de la artrosis y también en los estados postraumáticos y en las endoprótesis dislocadas. Estos defectos pueden tratarse con el empleo de hueso o cartílago autólogo u homólogo, o bien mediante materiales sustitutivos adecuados. Como no se dispone ilimitadamente de materiales autólogos, en el caso de los injertos homólogos hay que tener en cuenta los aspectos infecciológicos. Joint diseases are very common disorders, which are accompanied by a large number of discomforts for affected people. Thus, for example, bone and cartilaginous defects play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and also in post-traumatic states and in dislocated stents. These defects can be treated with the use of autologous or homologous bone or cartilage, or by suitable substitute materials. Since autologous materials are not available unlimitedly, in the case of homologous grafts, infection aspects must be taken into account.
El principal problema de los trastornos degenerativos o traumáticos de las articulaciones reside en la poca 10 capacidad de regeneración del cartílago dañado. Un tratamiento conocido de estos defectos cartilaginosos es el implante autólogo de condrocitos (ACT) como método de terapia biológica. Con este método terapéutico se pudo detectar por primera vez la formación nueva de cartílago hialino en un defecto cartilaginoso articular. The main problem of degenerative or traumatic joint disorders is the poor regeneration capacity of damaged cartilage. A known treatment of these cartilaginous defects is the autologous chondrocyte implant (ACT) as a method of biological therapy. With this therapeutic method it was possible to detect for the first time the new formation of hyaline cartilage in a joint cartilaginous defect.
El principio de este método se basa en inyectar células cartilaginosas del paciente, cultivadas in vitro después de desbridar el cartílago degenerado, bajo un colgajo perióstico cosido sobre el defecto (método Peterson). El 15 procedimiento es técnicamente complicado y plantea problemas metodológicos; por ejemplo, no garantiza que las células cartilaginosas permanezcan mucho tiempo en la grieta. Además no está claro que las células cartilaginosas cultivadas sean capaces de formar la matriz necesaria para rellenar permanentemente la grieta en el momento del trasplante. Las células trasplantadas se encuentran mayormente en un estado desdiferenciado y tienen similitudes morfológicas y fisiológicas con los fibroblastos. 20 The principle of this method is based on injecting the patient's cartilaginous cells, grown in vitro after debriding the degenerated cartilage, under a periodic flap sewn over the defect (Peterson method). The procedure is technically complicated and poses methodological problems; For example, it does not guarantee that cartilaginous cells remain long in the crack. Furthermore, it is not clear that cultured cartilaginous cells are capable of forming the matrix necessary to permanently fill the crack at the time of transplantation. The transplanted cells are mostly in a dedifferentiated state and have morphological and physiological similarities with fibroblasts. twenty
De la patente DE 197 21 661 A1 se conoce el empleo de nuevos materiales, para sustituir huesos o cartílagos, que, aun siendo conocidos, se caracterizan por tener una estructura específica. Se trata de un implante de hueso o cartílago basado en una red tridimensional formada básicamente por un gran número de varillas de un material total o parcialmente bioabsorbible, dispuestas regularmente. Las varillas forman una estructura geométrica tridimensional cuya elasticidad y resistencia están adaptadas al tejido que debe reemplazarse en el cuerpo del paciente. Las varillas pueden 25 ser de poli-D-lactidas, poli-L-lactidas, poli-DL-lactidas, hidroxiapatitos, fosfatos cálcicos o mezclas de estas sustancias que contengan esencialmente fosfatos cálcicos o hidroxiapatitos, colágeno, agar o gelatina. The use of new materials is known from DE 197 21 661 A1, to replace bones or cartilage, which, although known, are characterized by having a specific structure. It is a bone or cartilage implant based on a three-dimensional network consisting basically of a large number of rods of a totally or partially bioabsorbable material, arranged regularly. The rods form a three-dimensional geometric structure whose elasticity and resistance are adapted to the tissue that must be replaced in the patient's body. The rods can be made of poly-D-lactides, poly-L-lactides, poly-DL-lactides, hydroxyapatites, calcium phosphates or mixtures of these substances that essentially contain calcium phosphates or hydroxyapatites, collagen, agar or gelatin.
La patente WO 99/08728 revela una mezcla de factores ósteoinductivos o condroinductivos incluida en nanoesferas. También se revela un sistema formado por una matriz biodegradable que contiene, por ejemplo, colágeno de tipo I o de tipo II en el cual están incluidos los factores envueltos por las nanoesferas. Las nanoesferas están 30 constituidas por partículas poliméricas. WO 99/08728 discloses a mixture of osteoinductive or chondroinductive factors included in nanospheres. It also reveals a system formed by a biodegradable matrix containing, for example, type I or type II collagen in which the factors involved by the nanospheres are included. The nanospheres are made up of polymeric particles.
De la patente WO 95/33821 se conoce la elaboración de estructuras tridimensionales de colágeno cuyos intersticios están puenteados, p.ej. mediante fibroblastos o condrocitos, y esta retícula se cultiva en un medio de cultivo. En este documento se describe el cultivo de dichas células sobre una retícula tridimensional, así como el uso de este tejido artificial como prótesis cartilaginosa. 35 From WO 95/33821 it is known to make three-dimensional collagen structures whose interstices are bridged, eg by fibroblasts or chondrocytes, and this lattice is grown in a culture medium. This document describes the culture of these cells on a three-dimensional grid, as well as the use of this artificial tissue as a cartilaginous prosthesis. 35
La patente WO 98/17791 describe la extracción y el uso de precursores de condrocitos, que pueden multiplicarse metódicamente por cultivo y utilizarse como tejido cartilaginoso terapéutico. También describe el cultivo de condrocitos sobre una retícula tridimensional cuyos intersticios van puenteados por los condrocitos. WO 98/17791 describes the extraction and use of chondrocyte precursors, which can be methodically multiplied by culture and used as therapeutic cartilaginous tissue. It also describes the culture of chondrocytes on a three-dimensional grid whose interstices are bridged by the chondrocytes.
La patente WO 99/00152 revela un método para producir un injerto bioartificial, que consiste en separar todas las células antígeno-reactivas de un tejido alógeno o xenógeno por tratamiento enzimático o químico y en colonizar con 40 las células autólogas deseadas el material libre de células y no desnaturalizado así obtenido, con lo cual resulta un injerto inmediatamente listo para trasplantar. WO 99/00152 discloses a method for producing a bioartificial graft, which consists in separating all the antigen-reactive cells from an allogenous or xenogenic tissue by enzymatic or chemical treatment and colonizing with the desired autologous cells the cell-free material. and not denatured thus obtained, resulting in a graft immediately ready to transplant.
La desventaja de los métodos conocidos es que las células cartilaginosas trasplantadas o cultivadas no reasumen su capacidad sintetizadora original. The disadvantage of the known methods is that the transplanted or cultured cartilaginous cells do not resume their original synthesizing capacity.
Las células cartilaginosas incluidas en la sustancia intracelular del cartílago - los condrocitos - se 45 desdiferencian precisamente durante el periodo de cultivo bajo condiciones in vitro. Mientras que las células cartilaginosas primarias (cultivo P0) aún muestran capacidades específicas para sintetizar células cartilaginosas después de su aislamiento del tejido cartilaginoso, como lo demuestra la formación de colágeno de tipo II, IX y XI, las células cultivadas pierden estas características típicas durante los sucesivos pasajes in vitro (P1-PX). The cartilaginous cells included in the intracellular substance of the cartilage - the chondrocytes - dedifferentiate precisely during the culture period under in vitro conditions. While primary cartilaginous cells (P0 culture) still show specific abilities to synthesize cartilaginous cells after their isolation from cartilaginous tissue, as demonstrated by the formation of type II, IX and XI collagen, cultured cells lose these typical characteristics during successive passages in vitro (P1-PX).
Asimismo, al contrario que otras células, las células cartilaginosas son difíciles de cultivar. Las células 50 cartilaginosas cultivadas se hallan en un estado desdiferenciado y se parecen morfológicamente y fisiológicamente a los fibroblastos. Sin embargo, sobre todo en caso de defectos grandes, es necesaria la multiplicación por cultivo de los condrocitos autólogos y su pasaje, para producir cantidades adecuadas de material de trasplante a partir de muestras pequeñas. Also, unlike other cells, cartilaginous cells are difficult to grow. Cultured cartilaginous cells are in a dedifferentiated state and morphologically and physiologically resemble fibroblasts. However, especially in case of large defects, multiplication by culture of autologous chondrocytes and their passage is necessary to produce adequate amounts of transplant material from small samples.
Hasta ahora, la desdiferenciación de las células cartilaginosas solo puede evitarse agregando estimulantes de crecimiento adicionales, lo cual dificulta el empleo in vivo de estos cultivos, pues los estimulantes de crecimiento pueden interactuar desfavorablemente con el sistema inmunológico del organismo receptor. Además, los métodos conocidos no aseguran que las células mantengan su metabolismo natural o casi natural durante el cultivo, incluso después de varios pasajes. 5 Until now, dedifferentiation of cartilaginous cells can only be avoided by adding additional growth stimulants, which makes it difficult to use these cultures in vivo, as growth stimulants can interact unfavorably with the immune system of the recipient organism. In addition, known methods do not ensure that cells maintain their natural or almost natural metabolism during culture, even after several passages. 5
Con los métodos actuales, las estructuras tridimensionales conocidas para cultivar células cartilaginosas tampoco se pueden adaptar específicamente al correspondiente defecto del cartílago. Tampoco se garantiza que las células cartilaginosas trasplantadas permanezcan de manera duradera y diferenciada en el lugar del defecto, permitiendo la regeneración del cartílago. With current methods, the three-dimensional structures known to grow cartilaginous cells cannot also be specifically adapted to the corresponding cartilage defect. Nor is it guaranteed that the transplanted cartilaginous cells remain in a lasting and differentiated manner at the site of the defect, allowing cartilage regeneration.
Realmente no se conoce hasta la fecha ningún método de trasplante capaz de garantizar que las células 10 cartilaginosas trasplantadas permanezcan de manera duradera en el lugar del defecto, asegurando por tanto la correspondiente regeneración del cartílago. No transplant method is really known to date capable of ensuring that the transplanted cartilaginous cells remain permanently in the place of the defect, thus ensuring the corresponding regeneration of the cartilage.
Por lo tanto el problema técnico objeto de la presente invención consiste en proporcionar injertos cartilaginosos, así como métodos y medios para su producción, que permitan un mejor tratamiento de las afecciones de los cartílagos, sobre todo una mejor curación o regeneración del defecto cartilaginoso tratado. 15 Therefore the technical problem object of the present invention is to provide cartilaginous grafts, as well as methods and means for their production, which allow a better treatment of the conditions of the cartilage, especially a better cure or regeneration of the treated cartilaginous defect. fifteen
La presente invención resuelve este problema ofreciendo medios para rediferenciar y/o multiplicar células cartilaginosas desdiferenciadas, a base de cultivar las células cartilaginosas desdiferenciadas en una biomatriz tridimensional gelatinosa donde puedan rediferenciarse y reanudar su actividad metabólica celular específica. The present invention solves this problem by offering means for redifferentiating and / or multiplying dedifferentiated cartilaginous cells, based on culturing the dedifferentiated cartilaginous cells in a three-dimensional gelatinous biomatrix where they can redifferentiate and resume their specific cellular metabolic activity.
La biomatriz según la presente invención contiene un armazón de colágeno recién formado a partir de una solución de colágeno, preferentemente fresca, con una concentración mínima de 1,5 mg de colágeno/ml de biomatriz, 20 preferentemente 1,5 hasta 4 mg de colágeno/ml de biomatriz. Este armazón de colágeno se obtiene a partir de una disolución ácida de colágeno preferentemente exenta de células, preferiblemente con un valor pH de 0,1 hasta 6,9, preferentemente de 2,0 hasta 5,0, sobre todo de 3,0 hasta 4,5, en concreto de 3,2 hasta 4,2 y con especial preferencia de 3,8. Dicha solución de colágeno se prepara y se guarda entre 2 y 10ºC, preferiblemente a 4ºC. Para preparar una biomatriz libre de células, esta solución de colágeno se mezcla entre 2 y 10ºC, preferiblemente a 4ºC, con una solución 25 de medio, concretamente un medio corriente de cultivo celular, un tampón, por ejemplo HEPES, y suero, sobre todo suero humano autólogo, y se gelifica aumentando la temperatura, por ejemplo, hasta la temperatura ambiente o 37ºC. Para preparar una biomatriz que contenga células, se introducen células preferentemente precultivadas, por ejemplo células cartilaginosas o precursores de células cartilaginosas, en la solución de medio, tampón y suero, que luego se mezcla entre 2 y 10ºC, preferiblemente a 4ºC, con la solución de colágeno igualmente temperada entre 2 y 10ºC, 30 preferiblemente a 4ºC. Las células incluidas de este modo en la biomatriz pueden cultivarse posteriormente y, dado el caso, extraerse por disolución. A continuación se gelifica por ejemplo a temperatura ambiente o a 37ºC y la biomatriz se recubre con medio de cultivo celular. El método de la presente invención permite realizar ventajosamente un cultivo intermedio de las células en una biomatriz según la presente invención, de manera que los condrocitos, por ejemplo del cultivo P2, son estimulados en la biomatriz tridimensional para sintetizar de nuevo proteínas matriciales típicamente 35 celulares, sobre todo colágeno II, mientras que en los cultivos conocidos no puede detectarse ninguna formación de colágeno. Luego, ventajosamente, las células pueden extraerse otra vez de la biomatriz y cultivarse. Gracias a la presente invención, la rediferenciación de las células cartilaginosas desdiferenciadas permite cultivar y/o multiplicar condrocitos durante un largo periodo de tiempo, sin que las células pierdan la capacidad de síntesis específica necesaria para formación de cartílago. Por tanto, de manera ventajosa, partiendo incluso de una pequeña cantidad de 40 tejido cartilaginoso, se puede disponer de suficiente material celular para la producción de injertos de cartílago. The biomatrix according to the present invention contains a newly formed collagen framework from a collagen solution, preferably fresh, with a minimum concentration of 1.5 mg of collagen / ml of biomatrix, preferably 1.5 to 4 mg of collagen / ml of biomatrix. This collagen framework is obtained from an acid solution of collagen preferably free of cells, preferably with a pH value of 0.1 to 6.9, preferably 2.0 to 5.0, especially 3.0 to 4.5, specifically from 3.2 to 4.2 and with a special preference of 3.8. Said collagen solution is prepared and stored between 2 and 10 ° C, preferably at 4 ° C. To prepare a cell-free biomatrix, this collagen solution is mixed between 2 and 10 ° C, preferably at 4 ° C, with a solution of medium, specifically a cell culture medium, a buffer, for example HEPES, and serum, especially autologous human serum, and gels by increasing the temperature, for example, to room temperature or 37 ° C. To prepare a biomatrix containing cells, preferably precultured cells, for example cartilaginous cells or precursors of cartilaginous cells, are introduced into the solution of medium, buffer and serum, which is then mixed between 2 and 10 ° C, preferably at 4 ° C, with the solution of collagen equally tempered between 2 and 10 ° C, preferably at 4 ° C. Cells thus included in the biomatrix can be subsequently cultured and, if necessary, removed by dissolution. It is then gelled for example at room temperature or at 37 ° C and the biomatrix is coated with cell culture medium. The method of the present invention allows advantageously to perform an intermediate culture of the cells in a biomatrix according to the present invention, so that the chondrocytes, for example of the P2 culture, are stimulated in the three-dimensional biomatrix to synthesize again typically cellular cellular matrix proteins. , especially collagen II, while no known collagen formation can be detected in known cultures. Then, advantageously, the cells can be extracted again from the biomatrix and cultured. Thanks to the present invention, redifferentiation of dedifferentiated cartilaginous cells allows culturing and / or multiplying chondrocytes for a long period of time, without the cells losing the specific synthesis capacity necessary for cartilage formation. Therefore, advantageously, starting even with a small amount of cartilaginous tissue, sufficient cellular material can be available for the production of cartilage grafts.
Respecto a la presente invención, el término cultivo de células se refiere a un mantenimiento, sobre todo in vitro, de las funciones vitales de células en un entorno adecuado - por ejemplo con aporte y extracción de eductos y productos metabólicos - y también concretamente a una multiplicación de las células. With respect to the present invention, the term "cell culture" refers to a maintenance, especially in vitro, of the vital functions of cells in a suitable environment - for example, with input and extraction of metabolic products and educts - and also specifically a cell multiplication.
Respecto a la presente invención, como células cartilaginosas o condrocitos se entienden las células 45 cartilaginosas de procedencia natural o modificadas por ingeniería genética, o sus precursores, que pueden ser de origen animal o humano. With respect to the present invention, cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes are understood to mean cartilaginous cells of natural origin or modified by genetic engineering, or their precursors, which can be of animal or human origin.
Se prevé el cultivo de células cartilaginosas diferenciadas, manteniendo especialmente su diferenciación, en una biomatriz tridimensional de las características arriba citadas. Se conservan ventajosamente las actividades metabólicas del cultivo primario, sin que tenga lugar una desdiferenciación de las células cartilaginosas diferenciadas. 50 La presente invención también proporciona un método de cultivo de condrocitos que comprende una supresión de la rediferenciación. The culture of differentiated cartilaginous cells is foreseen, especially maintaining their differentiation, in a three-dimensional biomatrix of the aforementioned characteristics. The metabolic activities of the primary culture are advantageously preserved, without dedifferentiation of the differentiated cartilaginous cells. The present invention also provides a method of chondrocyte culture comprising a suppression of redifferentiation.
Está previsto que las células cartilaginosas, sometidas al control de su función, de su morfología y/o de su estado de diferenciación, se introduzcan en la mencionada biomatriz tridimensional, se cultiven y se comprueben simultánea y/o posteriormente. Así, por ejemplo, el metabolismo de las células cartilaginosas puede analizarse 55 ventajosamente in vitro, antes de emplearlas in vivo. El análisis puede ser, por ejemplo, la medición de las actividades metabólicas, así como una prueba morfológica o funcional. It is envisaged that the cartilaginous cells, subject to the control of their function, their morphology and / or their state of differentiation, are introduced into the aforementioned three-dimensional biomatrix, cultured and checked simultaneously and / or subsequently. Thus, for example, the metabolism of cartilaginous cells can be analyzed advantageously in vitro, before using them in vivo. The analysis can be, for example, the measurement of metabolic activities, as well as a morphological or functional test.
La presente invención también se refiere a métodos de rastreo y diagnóstico, que consisten en cultivar células The present invention also relates to screening and diagnostic methods, which consist of culturing cells.
cartilaginosas según el procedimiento anteriormente descrito y analizarlas simultánea o posteriormente, para determinar, por ejemplo, sus parámetros fisiológicos, morfológicos y/o biomoleculares. De este modo pueden detectarse concretamente afecciones degenerativas o traumáticas de las articulaciones o su ausencia. En el marco de estos métodos también se pueden examinar los efectos de medicamentos potenciales y/o de agentes patógenos, antígenos o análogos sobre las células cultivadas, por ejemplo en procesos de selección de fármacos. Según una forma de 5 ejecución preferida, las células se cultivan en presencia y en ausencia del agente investigado, comparando entre sí los efectos observados. cartilaginous according to the procedure described above and analyze them simultaneously or subsequently, to determine, for example, their physiological, morphological and / or biomolecular parameters. In this way, degenerative or traumatic conditions of the joints or their absence can be specifically detected. Within the framework of these methods, the effects of potential drugs and / or pathogens, antigens or the like on cultured cells can also be examined, for example in drug selection processes. According to a preferred embodiment, the cells are cultured in the presence and absence of the investigated agent, comparing the observed effects with each other.
En una forma de ejecución ventajosa las células cartilaginosas se extraen después de cultivarlas en la biomatriz tridimensional, por ejemplo mediante tratamiento con colagenasa y subsiguiente concentración, y a continuación se siguen cultivando en un cultivo celular bidimensional o tridimensional corriente. Así pueden combinarse 10 favorablemente las ventajas del cultivo bidimensional y tridimensional. In an advantageous embodiment, the cartilaginous cells are extracted after culturing them in the three-dimensional biomatrix, for example by treatment with collagenase and subsequent concentration, and then continued to be cultured in a current two-dimensional or three-dimensional cell culture. Thus, the advantages of two-dimensional and three-dimensional culture can be combined favorably.
En una forma de ejecución particularmente ventajosa las células cartilaginosas se introducen en una biomatriz tridimensional según la presente invención y se cultivan en ella de tal modo, que luego pueda obtenerse una prótesis cartilaginosa trasplantable, también llamada injerto de cartílago. En una forma de ejecución preferida esta prótesis cartilaginosa puede ser una prótesis de cartílago articular. Así, por ejemplo, la biomatriz ya puede adaptarse 15 ventajosamente a la forma del defecto cartilaginoso durante la fase del cultivo celular. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the cartilaginous cells are introduced into a three-dimensional biomatrix according to the present invention and cultured therein, so that a transplantable cartilaginous prosthesis, also called cartilage graft, can then be obtained. In a preferred embodiment, this cartilaginous prosthesis may be an articular cartilage prosthesis. Thus, for example, the biomatrix can already be advantageously adapted to the shape of the cartilaginous defect during the cell culture phase.
Una forma de ejecución ventajosa es un método previamente citado para elaborar una prótesis cartilaginosa, sobre todo articular, según el cual las células cartilaginosas se extraen preferentemente de la biomatriz tridimensional tras cultivarlas en la misma, preferiblemente mediante tratamiento con colagenasa y separación por centrifugación, y se siguen cultivando, preferiblemente a elevada densidad celular, en un cultivo bidimensional o tridimensional corriente, 20 con lo cual se puede obtener una prótesis cartilaginosa trasplantable, sobre todo articular. An advantageous embodiment is a previously cited method for making a cartilaginous prosthesis, especially articular, according to which the cartilaginous cells are preferably extracted from the three-dimensional biomatrix after culturing therein, preferably by treatment with collagenase and centrifugal separation, and they are still cultivated, preferably at high cell density, in a current two-dimensional or three-dimensional culture, whereby a transplantable, especially articular, cartilaginous prosthesis can be obtained.
La presente invención también se refiere a una prótesis cartilaginosa, sobre todo articular, elaborada por el método de la presente invención y por un método de cultivo de tipo convencional eventualmente subsiguiente o/y precedente. The present invention also relates to a cartilaginous, especially articular, prosthesis elaborated by the method of the present invention and by a conventional subsequent or / and previous conventional culture method.
La presente invención también se refiere a una biomatriz, preferiblemente gelatinosa, en la que puedan 25 realizarse dichos métodos de cultivo, es decir una biomatriz tanto sin células cartilaginosas como con ellas. En el último caso, la combinación de biomatriz y células cartilaginosas diferenciadas o rediferenciadas cultivadas en ella también se denomina sistema célula-matriz-cartílago o bioinjerto. Este bioinjerto se puede emplear directamente en la terapia de enfermedades o defectos de los cartílagos. The present invention also relates to a biomatrix, preferably gelatinous, in which said culture methods can be performed, that is to say a biomatrix both without cartilage cells and with them. In the latter case, the combination of biomatrix and differentiated or redifferentiated cartilaginous cells cultured therein is also called the cell-matrix-cartilage or biograft system. This biograft can be used directly in the therapy of diseases or defects of the cartilage.

DMEM (Eagle medium modified by Dulbecco) is advantageously used as a cell culture medium, but any other cell culture medium that allows culturing cartilaginous cells can also be used. As the serum, in the preferred embodiment autologous human serum is used and as a Hepes buffer, for example. In the preferred embodiment, the concentration of Hepes in the solution is adjusted to 3 M. In the preferred embodiment, the pH value of the solution of cell culture medium, buffer and serum is 7.5 to 8.5. , for example 7.6 to 8.2, especially 7.8.

Por lo tanto la presente invención también se refiere a métodos para elaborar una biomatriz, según los cuales, en una primera etapa se prepara colágeno fresco a partir de colas de rata, por ejemplo, reuniendo en disolución tampón fibras de colágeno extraídas del tejido que lo contiene, desinfectándolas superficialmente en alcohol, lavándolas luego 50 en solución tampón y transfiriéndolas seguidamente a una solución ácida cuyo valor pH es de 0,1 hasta 6,9, preferentemente de 2,0 hasta 5,0, sobre todo de 3,0 hasta 4,0, en concreto de 3,3, por ejemplo una solución de ácido acético al 0,1%. Después, en otra etapa, el colágeno disuelto se agita entre 2 y 10ºC, sobre todo a 4ºC, durante unos días, por ejemplo 3 hasta 14 días, las partículas de colágeno no disueltas se separan por centrifugación y se guarda entre 2 y 10ºC, por ejemplo a 4ºC, una solución terminada que contiene 3 mg/ml hasta 8 mg/ml de colágeno. 55 Naturalmente la solución también se puede mantener congelada, por ejemplo entre -10ºC y -80ºC, sobre todo -20ºC. En una tercera etapa esta solución de colágeno se mezcla preferentemente en relación 1:1 con una solución de pH 7,5 hasta 8,5, preferiblemente 7,6 hasta 8,2, sobre todo 7,8, que contiene medio de cultivo celular doblemente concentrado, suero y tampón, obteniéndose una biomatriz que presenta un valor pH de 7,0 hasta 7,8, preferiblemente 7,4. Para preparar un bioinjerto, la solución del medio de cultivo celular doblemente concentrado, suero y tampón se mezcla con 60 Therefore, the present invention also relates to methods for making a biomatrix, according to which, in a first stage, fresh collagen is prepared from rat tails, for example, by collecting in buffer solution collagen fibers extracted from the tissue that It contains, disinfecting them superficially in alcohol, then washing them 50 in buffer solution and then transferring them to an acid solution whose pH value is 0.1 to 6.9, preferably 2.0 to 5.0, especially 3.0 to 4.0, specifically 3.3, for example a 0.1% acetic acid solution. Then, at another stage, the dissolved collagen is stirred between 2 and 10 ° C, especially at 4 ° C, for a few days, for example 3 to 14 days, the undissolved collagen particles are separated by centrifugation and stored between 2 and 10 ° C, for example at 4 ° C, a finished solution containing 3 mg / ml up to 8 mg / ml collagen. Of course the solution can also be kept frozen, for example between -10 ° C and -80 ° C, especially -20 ° C. In a third stage this collagen solution is preferably mixed in a 1: 1 ratio with a solution of pH 7.5 to 8.5, preferably 7.6 to 8.2, especially 7.8, which contains cell culture medium doubly concentrated, serum and buffer, obtaining a biomatrix having a pH value of 7.0 to 7.8, preferably 7.4. To prepare a biograft, the solution of the doubly concentrated cell culture medium, serum and buffer is mixed with 60
células cartilaginosas precultivadas y centrifugadas, utilizando preferiblemente 2 x 104 hasta 2 x 107 células por ml, sobre todo 2 x 106 células. A continuación, esta solución de pH 7,5 hasta 8,5, preferiblemente 7,6 hasta 8,2, sobre todo 7,8, se mezcla entre 2 y 10ºC, en concreto a 4ºC, con la solución de colágeno antes mencionada en relación 1:1. Después, la solución de gel se pipetea en recipientes de cultivo y tras la gelificación a 37ºC se recubre con medio. Luego el bioinjerto se cultiva durante 3 hasta 8 días, a fin de que esté disponible para trasplantes. 5 Precultured and centrifuged cartilaginous cells, preferably using 2 x 104 to 2 x 107 cells per ml, especially 2 x 106 cells. Then, this solution of pH 7.5 to 8.5, preferably 7.6 to 8.2, especially 7.8, is mixed between 2 and 10 ° C, in particular at 4 ° C, with the collagen solution mentioned above in 1: 1 ratio Then, the gel solution is pipetted into culture vessels and after gelation at 37 ° C it is coated with medium. Then the biograft is grown for 3 to 8 days, so that it is available for transplants. 5
El bioinjerto llega a la sala de operaciones en recipientes de cultivo y luego el médico puede adaptarlo mediante trabajo mecánico al tamaño, espesor y forma del defecto, por ejemplo con un bisturí. A continuación el bioinjerto se fija en la grieta, por ejemplo con adhesivo de tejidos, concretamente con adhesivo de fibrina. Al cabo de unos 5 minutos el bioinjerto queda firmemente anclado en la grieta. La operación también puede practicarse por artroscopia, puesto que el bioinjerto es flexible. 10 The biograft arrives in the operating room in culture vessels and then the doctor can adapt it by mechanical work to the size, thickness and shape of the defect, for example with a scalpel. The biograft is then fixed in the crack, for example with tissue adhesive, specifically with fibrin adhesive. After about 5 minutes the biograft is firmly anchored in the crack. The operation can also be performed by arthroscopy, since the biograft is flexible. 10
Otro uso del bioinjerto es una combinación de la biomatriz de la presente invención con huesos. En tal caso el bioinjerto se aplica por ejemplo sobre cilindros óseos autólogos de la cresta ilíaca, por ejemplo con adhesivo de fibrina. La presente invención permite tratar especialmente la osteocondritis disecante y las grietas de la cabeza del fémur debidas a la luxación de cadera por paresia cerebral, así como curar lesiones traumáticas y degenerativas de la articulación de la rodilla. Mediante una terapia precoz y causal el nuevo método según la presente invención permite 15 detener el avance de las enfermedades articulares traumáticas o degenerativas. Para el tratamiento de la artrosis en personas jóvenes se dispone con la presente invención de un método terapéutico único y nuevo, que retrasa considerablemente la sustitución endoprotésica de la articulación y en algún caso la evita. Como aplicación del método de la presente invención también es posible tratar el deterioro de las articulaciones causado por inflamación. Another use of the biograft is a combination of the biomatrix of the present invention with bones. In this case, the biograft is applied, for example, on autologous bone cylinders of the iliac crest, for example with fibrin adhesive. The present invention makes it possible to treat especially osteochondritis dissecans and cracks of the head of the femur due to dislocation of the hip by cerebral paresis, as well as to cure traumatic and degenerative lesions of the knee joint. By an early and causal therapy, the new method according to the present invention allows to stop the progression of traumatic or degenerative joint diseases. For the treatment of osteoarthritis in young people, a unique and new therapeutic method is available with the present invention, which considerably delays the endoprosthetic joint replacement and in some cases avoids it. As an application of the method of the present invention it is also possible to treat the deterioration of the joints caused by inflammation.
El desarrollo de la biomatriz gelatinosa de la presente invención, en la cual se pueden incluir células autólogas 20 de manera exactamente definida, permite por primera vez injertar una cantidad definida de células cartilaginosas en una matriz mecánicamente moldeable y resistente a esfuerzos. El sistema célula-matriz-cartílago de la presente invención, constituido por la biomatriz según la presente invención y células cartilaginosas, puede prepararse en cualquier tamaño y grosor y adaptarse exactamente al defecto mediante ajuste mecánico. En comparación con el ACT el bioinjerto de la presente invención ofrece además la ventaja de suprimir la extracción adicional de periosto de la tibia del paciente. El 25 cultivo in vitro del sistema célula-matriz-cartílago de la presente invención permite analizar antes del trasplante la capacidad de las células cartilaginosas para producir matriz. Este es un requisito importante para elaborar injertos cartilaginosos, comprobar su funcionalidad y asegurar la calidad. Así se pudo demostrar que la nueva síntesis de proteínas típicamente cartilaginosas - como por ejemplo el colágeno de tipo II - que proporcionan la estabilidad fundamental del injerto se produce in vitro en la matriz por medio de las células cartilaginosas autólogas. Conforme a la 30 presente invención, mediante ensayos en articulaciones de rodilla de cerditos vietnamitas se pudo demostrar que, en comparación con el defecto vacío injertado con matriz vacía sin células cartilaginosas o bien con suspensiones de células cartilaginosas según el método Peterson, los sistemas célula-matriz-cartílago de la presente invención se implantan excelentemente en el cartílago de la articulación, rellenan completamente el defecto y además resisten la presión. 35 The development of the gelatinous biomatrix of the present invention, in which autologous cells 20 can be included in exactly defined manner, allows for the first time to graft a defined amount of cartilaginous cells into a mechanically moldable and stress-resistant matrix. The cell-matrix-cartilage system of the present invention, constituted by the biomatrix according to the present invention and cartilaginous cells, can be prepared in any size and thickness and exactly adapted to the defect by mechanical adjustment. In comparison with the ACT, the biograft of the present invention also offers the advantage of suppressing further extraction of perioste from the patient's tibia. The in vitro culture of the cell-matrix-cartilage system of the present invention allows the ability of cartilaginous cells to produce matrix to be analyzed before transplantation. This is an important requirement to make cartilaginous grafts, check their functionality and ensure quality. Thus, it was possible to demonstrate that the new synthesis of typically cartilaginous proteins - such as type II collagen - that provide the fundamental stability of the graft is produced in vitro in the matrix by means of autologous cartilaginous cells. In accordance with the present invention, by tests on knee joints of Vietnamese pigs it could be demonstrated that, in comparison to the empty defect grafted with empty matrix without cartilaginous cells or with suspensions of cartilaginous cells according to the Peterson method, the cell systems Matrix-cartilage of the present invention is implanted excellently in the cartilage of the joint, completely fills the defect and also resists pressure. 35
Por último, la presente invención también se refiere a una biomatriz para emplear en uno de los procedimientos antes mencionados. Finally, the present invention also relates to a biomatrix for use in one of the aforementioned procedures.
La presente invención también se refiere a métodos para tratar enfermedades o defectos de los cartílagos, sobre todo enfermedades degenerativas, inflamatorias y/o traumáticas de las articulaciones, mediante el uso de una prótesis cartilaginosa o de un bioinjerto preparados según la presente invención y/o de células cartilaginosas cultivadas 40 conforme a la presente invención, para implantar en tejidos o cartílagos - o en zonas óseas - afectados o dañados o bien reemplazar las partes afectadas o defectuosas. The present invention also relates to methods for treating diseases or defects of the cartilage, especially degenerative, inflammatory and / or traumatic diseases of the joints, by using a cartilaginous prosthesis or a biograft prepared according to the present invention and / or of cultured cartilaginous cells 40 according to the present invention, to implant in tissues or cartilage - or in bone areas - affected or damaged or replace the affected or defective parts.
La presente invención se ilustra más detalladamente por medio de ejemplos. The present invention is illustrated in more detail by way of examples.
Ejemplo 1: preparación de colágeno Example 1: Collagen Preparation
Para preparar una solución de colágeno se usa un tejido que contenga colágeno, como por ejemplo tendones 45 de colas de rata. Todas las operaciones se efectúan con materiales estériles y en condiciones estériles. Para ello, después de conservarlas a -20ºC, las colas de rata se desinfectan superficialmente durante 5 minutos en alcohol al 70%. Luego se quita la piel de las colas de rata y se extraen las fibras de colágeno sueltas. Si se usa otro tejido de partida, las células eventualmente presentes pueden retirarse con cuidado mediante un tratamiento mecánico, enzimático o químico. Las fibras de colágeno se recogen en una solución salina tamponada con fosfato (PBS) (pH 7,2), 50 se desinfectan superficialmente durante 10 minutos en alcohol del 70% y después se lavan con PBS. Se determina el peso de las fibras de colágeno y las mismas se transfieren a una solución de ácido acético al 0,1% (aproximadamente 8 hasta 12 mg/ml). La preparación se agita durante un periodo de 3 hasta 14 días y a continuación se centrifugan las partículas de colágeno no disueltas (1000 rpm, 1 hora, a 8ºC). En una forma de ejecución preferida la solución acabada de colágeno tiene un contenido de colágeno comprendido entre 3 mg/ml y 8 mg/ml. Por tanto, tal como se ha definido 55 anteriormente, el colágeno se halla presente en gran proporción como material de partida en solución y no en forma de fibras, de retícula o de matriz. La solución de colágeno resultante está preferentemente exenta de células y se prepara partiendo de colágeno fresco no liofilizado. To prepare a collagen solution, a tissue containing collagen is used, such as for example 45 tendons of rat tails. All operations are carried out with sterile materials and under sterile conditions. To do this, after keeping them at -20 ° C, the rat tails are superficially disinfected for 5 minutes in 70% alcohol. The skin is then removed from the rat tails and the loose collagen fibers are removed. If another starting tissue is used, eventually the cells present can be carefully removed by mechanical, enzymatic or chemical treatment. The collagen fibers are collected in a phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) (pH 7.2), 50 are superficially disinfected for 10 minutes in 70% alcohol and then washed with PBS. The weight of the collagen fibers is determined and they are transferred to a 0.1% acetic acid solution (approximately 8 to 12 mg / ml). The preparation is stirred for a period of 3 to 14 days and then the undissolved collagen particles are centrifuged (1000 rpm, 1 hour, at 8 ° C). In a preferred embodiment, the finished collagen solution has a collagen content between 3 mg / ml and 8 mg / ml. Therefore, as defined above, collagen is present in large proportion as a starting material in solution and not in the form of fibers, lattice or matrix. The resulting collagen solution is preferably cell-free and prepared from fresh, non-lyophilized collagen.
Ejemplo 2: preparación de la biomatriz o del bioinjerto Example 2: preparation of the biomatrix or biograft
Todas las operaciones se efectúan con materiales estériles y en condiciones estériles. All operations are carried out with sterile materials and under sterile conditions.
Solución de colágeno: mínimo 3 mg/ml en ácido acético Collagen solution: minimum 3 mg / ml in acetic acid
Solución tampón: 77,5 ml de medio doblemente concentrado (por ejemplo DMEM) Buffer solution: 77.5 ml of doubly concentrated medium (for example DMEM)
20 ml de suero 5 20 ml of serum 5
2,5 ml de solución Hepes (3 M, pH 7,8) 2.5 ml of Hepes solution (3 M, pH 7.8)
Ambas soluciones se conservan a 4ºC. Both solutions are stored at 4 ° C.
La biomatriz está formada por una solución de colágeno en ácido acético al 0,1% (colágeno de colas de rata, con un contenido de colágeno de 3 mg/ml hasta 8 mg/ml, preferiblemente 6 mg/ml) y una solución tampón de medio doblemente concentrado, suero y disolución Hepes. Poco después de mezclar ambos componentes, preferentemente 10 en relación 1:1, gelifica a temperaturas por encima de 4ºC, por ejemplo a temperatura ambiente, una estructura de colágeno tridimensional de nueva constitución. The biomatrix is formed by a 0.1% solution of collagen in acetic acid (rat tail collagen, with a collagen content of 3 mg / ml to 8 mg / ml, preferably 6 mg / ml) and a buffer solution of doubly concentrated medium, serum and Hepes solution. Shortly after mixing both components, preferably 10 in a 1: 1 ratio, a three-dimensional collagen structure gels at temperatures above 4 ° C, for example at room temperature.
Para preparar un bioinjerto, es decir una biomatriz que contiene células, se introducen 2 x 104 hasta 2 x 107 células cartilaginosas/ml - preferentemente 2 x 106, precultivadas de la manera habitual y separadas por centrifugación (1000 rpm, 10 minutos, a temperatura ambiente) - en la solución tampón, se suspenden y se mezclan a 4ºC con partes 15 iguales de la solución de colágeno. Esta solución de gel se pipetea en recipientes de cultivo y después de gelificar a 37ºC formando una estructura de colágeno recién constituida, con células cartilaginosas incluidas, se recubre con medio. El material queda listo para trasplantar al cabo de 3 a 8 días de cultivo. To prepare a biograft, that is to say a biomatrix containing cells, 2 x 104 to 2 x 107 cartilaginous cells / ml are introduced - preferably 2 x 106, precultured in the usual manner and separated by centrifugation (1000 rpm, 10 minutes, at temperature ambient) - in the buffer solution, they are suspended and mixed at 4 ° C with equal parts of the collagen solution. This gel solution is pipetted into culture vessels and after gelling at 37 ° C forming a newly formed collagen structure, with cartilaginous cells included, it is coated with medium. The material is ready to transplant after 3 to 8 days of culture.
Si se desea, las células se pueden volver a separar y obtener de la biomatriz mediante un tratamiento con colágeno seguido de centrifugación. Las células diferenciadas resultantes pueden ser el punto de partida para otros 20 cultivos. If desired, the cells can be separated again and obtained from the biomatrix by a collagen treatment followed by centrifugation. The resulting differentiated cells may be the starting point for another 20 cultures.
Ejemplo 3: injerto en la articulación abierta y aplicación artroscópica Example 3: graft in the open joint and arthroscopic application
Tanto durante el trasplante en la articulación abierta como en la aplicación artroscópica el cartílago célula-matriz se adapta primero mecánicamente en forma y tamaño al defecto cartilaginoso. A continuación, el injerto se introduce en la grieta y se fija allí mediante adhesivo de fibrina. Como el sistema célula-matriz-cartílago es un material 25 flexible pero a la vez dimensionalmente estable, este bioinjerto se enrolla prácticamente en los instrumentos artroscópicos tubulares y de esta forma se introduce en la grieta. Gracias a su estabilidad dimensional los injertos recuperan su forma original en el sitio destinado y pueden fijarse al defecto con adhesivo de fibrina. Both during transplantation in the open joint and in the arthroscopic application, the cell-matrix cartilage first adapts mechanically in shape and size to the cartilaginous defect. Next, the graft is inserted into the crack and fixed there by fibrin adhesive. As the cell-matrix-cartilage system is a flexible but at the same time dimensionally stable material, this biograft is wound almost on tubular arthroscopic instruments and thus introduced into the crack. Thanks to its dimensional stability, the grafts recover their original shape at the intended site and can be fixed to the defect with fibrin adhesive.
Ejemplo 4: resultados de los ensayos PCR Example 4: PCR test results
En la tabla siguiente se reproducen los resultados de los ensayos PCR. El objeto de estos ensayos era 30 demostrar que el cultivo según la presente invención en una biomatriz preparada conforme a los ejemplos 1 y 2 de la presente invención produce una rediferenciación de los condrocitos. En la tabla puede verse que, partiendo de un cultivo P0, los condrocitos pierden su capacidad de producir colágeno de tipo II durante los sucesivos pasajes convencionales P1 y P2. Las células se desdiferencian en el curso de dichos pasajes. En cambio, un pasaje P2 realizado en una biomatriz de la presente invención produce la rediferenciación de los condrocitos desdiferenciados, lo cual queda 35 confirmado por la recuperación de la capacidad de generar colágeno de tipo II. The following table reproduces the results of the PCR assays. The purpose of these tests was to demonstrate that the culture according to the present invention in a biomatrix prepared according to examples 1 and 2 of the present invention results in redifferentiation of the chondrocytes. In the table it can be seen that, starting from a P0 culture, chondrocytes lose their ability to produce type II collagen during successive conventional passages P1 and P2. The cells dedifferentiate in the course of these passages. In contrast, a passage P2 made in a biomatrix of the present invention results in the redifferentiation of the dedifferentiated chondrocytes, which is confirmed by the recovery of the ability to generate type II collagen.
